Vandals

Hey mom, its been fantastic since Im on my own
At first it seemed so drastic when you and dad kicked me out
but it made me get my act together
and learn what lifes all about
now Im self reliant I can hold my own
Movin up,
lookout
I got me a job, at a food service place
Im making four-fifty
and things are going great
Im cleaning toilets, making fries
but in a couple years
Your least favorite son could make the manager
I dont need education,
forget about a college
Ive got the motivation,
Ive got the knowledge
Ill work my way slowly up the food service ladder
and prove to my new family here I really matter
Movin up,
lookout,
here I come,
Movin up
I hate to jinx my chances
if its too soon to speak
but there has been some talk,
I could be worker of the week
Theyll give me half price lunches
and my own parking space
if I ever get a car
thats icing on the cake
Movin up,
Lookout,
here I come,
Im doing great
I may share one room place
with seven other strangers
with bugs and drugs
and several other dangers
but I command the dinner shift,
and when depressed
I think the four Fs
Friends, Fun, Fast-Food, Flexible hours
cuz I got me a job
I got me a plan
you said I was a mess up
but I proved that Im a man
Im here surviving
and I did my own way
Mom and Dad
I wish that you could see me today
Im Movin up,
Lookout,
Here I come,
I got a raise,
Movin up
Lookout,
Here I come,
Im doing good
